Hi there,

Amazing project, really enjoying using it!

I was just wondering if this works with standard HTTP trackers, or do I need to use a WebSocket tracker?

I'm currently using my own tracker which is running this PHP package christeredvartsen/php-bittorrent-tracker

In environments where TCP/UDP connections are possible (i.e. Node.js, Electron, node-webkit, etc.) HTTP trackers will be used. In the web browser, TCP/UDP connections are not possible for security reasons, the newer tracker protocol that uses WebSocket is required.

XMLHttpRequest can't do the trick?
